The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is demanding the release of the remaining abducted Chibok schoolgirls, ten years after their kidnapping.
Over 200 students were abducted in Chibok in Borno State in 2014. While some of them have regained their freedom, others are still in captivity.
A decade after the incident, CAN’s National Director for Education, Youth, and Women Development Ozumba Emmanuel Nicodemus in a statement on Saturday said the government should step up efforts to rescue the remaining students.

“We call on the government to mobilize all available resources, engage relevant security agencies, and collaborate with international partners to secure the release of the remaining Chibok girls without delay,” he said.
“This is not only a matter of national importance but also a test of our commitment to upholding the rights and safety of our citizens, particularly the most vulnerable among us.”
The CAN chief therefore called on Nigerians “to stand united, to lend their voices, and to demand immediate action from the government.
“Let us show our unwavering support for the families of the Chibok girls and demonstrate our collective determination to bring them back home to reunite with their families.”
